In 2.4.2-ac18 there are 130 CONFIG options that are always derived from
other options, the user has no control over them. It is useful for the
kernel build process to know which variables are derived and which
variables the user can control. There are also 6 CONFIG options that
are not used anyw

Not yet. There have been some off list discussions about redoing
The recent changes to mkdep can create incorrect dependencies when
(a) the kernel source is a symlink and
(b) you cd to the symlink and
(c) your shell exports PWD.
This one line patch against 2.4.3-pre2 gives consistent results.

You compiled your kernel with support for ELF objects as a module. You

The _modinst_post_pcmcia target was added to Makefile in 2.4.0-test6-pre3,
